There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 533: I Was Clearly Here First



Xu Shuo really had a problem: "She was influenced by my mental suggestion." Xu was not contaminated by the powers of the Abyss, but by his mental suggestions instead. Xu Shuo was well aware that the things he left in Xu's brain were akin to "Mental Contamination". Shi seriously replied, "That's right, that's why I said I needed to examine you. Your power is likely not from the Script Space. But to my knowledge, world number EA1029392178 has always been an Authentic World, with no extraordinary powers!" Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment, "Don't you know I have an Alpha Character Card?" This card doesn't seem to belong to the Script Space either. Shi scratched his head: "Alpha Character Card? I went back to investigate, and this thing is likely made secretly by the Fourth Palace or the Fifth Palace, but there's just so much information on these items. I haven't even seen a tenth of it." Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo was stunned—so the days when this person disappeared without replying were spent catching up on studies? Where did he go to study? He wanted to know as well. Thinking this, Xu Shuo gently coaxed the question out. This time Shi was quite firm, "The Tower of Judgment, common players can't get in touch with it, and I can't talk about what's inside." Xu Shuo: "Alright then, there's nothing else, you can go." Shi: "Oh..., ...hm?" Shi, who had subconsciously stood up, immediately sat down again, pursing his lips, staring intently at him. Xu Shuo surprised: "Do you want some zongzi too?" Shi: Staring— Xu Shuo: "So if I don't agree, you won't try to force it against my will, will you?" Shi paused, then took this seriously, considering it. Eventually, his gaze shifted, nine parts firm and one part guilty, as he looked at the person in front of him. Then he raised his hand, a faint golden light twinkling at his fingertips. It seemed he was planning to force the issue. Xu Shuo's expression remained calm. He was just feeling the little violin playing joyfully in his mind, confirming that this tiny thing was indeed stealthily absorbing the energy emanating from the other person, and it was even more proactive than when it absorbed unknown energies. Shi's glowing fingertips reached out. But just then, a noise suddenly came from the bedroom, followed by a figure who quickly darted out from the corner! Xu Xi held a chair in her hands, her face expressionless but her eyes fixed intently on Shi. It seemed that the chair would fly out at him with any hint of movement. Shi froze in his movement: "..." Xu Shuo: "..." Xu Shuo looked at Shi: "You didn't set up a barrier?" Shi answered subconsciously: "Why would I set up a barrier?" Xu Shuo frowned: "She's an ordinary person. Didn't you go the extra mile when you brought me back last time?" Shi scratched his head: "Right." But actually, if Los hadn't specifically mentioned 'not to let that girl find out' last time, Shi might not have taken that extra step, so he didn't have this consciousness this time, otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so straightforwardly in front of them both. Xu Shuo held his forehead: "It's my oversight. I should have realized this issue as soon as you showed up." Shi shyly withdrew his hand. To show his attitude, Xu Xi also cautiously put down the chair, her gaze flowing back and forth between the two, finally settling on Xu Shuo. Xu Shuo explained: "It's fine, no need to worry, we were just confirming some things." In fact, Xu Shuo didn't have much resistance to Shi examining him, as this person's thoughts were incredibly pure and good. He could be sure that the other party would not actually do anything excessive to him. Moreover, if he truly had Abyss consciousness in him, it would have been erased upon entering the Script Space. There's no way they would let this BUG mess up the script everywhere. After disrupting scripts so many times and having encountered entities like 'Judgement', he was getting an idea. Although what's more important is that Xu Shuo himself was quite curious about it. Xu Xi looked at him upon hearing this and didn't speak. Xu Shuo sighed, got up, walked over, and patted her head, whispering: "If you really want to know all this, I'll tell you everything later. For now, just go back to your room and behave." Xu Xi looked into his eyes seriously: "Is it going to be 'next time for sure' again?" Xu Shuo: "...This time for sure." Xu Xi nodded her head and took another look at Shi behind him before carrying her chair back to her room. After sending Xu Xi away, Xu Shuo's reproachful gaze turned to Shi. Shi immediately lowered his head in guilt, "I'm sorry." On further thought, at that time, he hadn't realized the need to avoid detection in front of this ordinary girl, as if his subconscious believed there was no need to hide. But the existence of Script Space did have restrictions on not disclosing information to ordinary people. Just that now, because this world was influenced by the Abyss, it had reached the point where a "defensive line" had to be set up, so the Script Space had also relaxed some restrictions, allowing some information related to the Script Space to be spoken aloud. However, upon reflection, what they had just discussed indeed should not be known to ordinary people—this was also why Shi didn't reveal it in front of Luo Kai. So now, Shi tried to think of a way to remedy the situation, "I can erase her memory, don't worry, it won't affect her spiritual consciousness." Already at the corner of the hallway, Xu Xi paused as she reached the door of her bedroom; her face was expressionless, but her eyes were somewhat cold. Xu Shuo spoke without emotion, "No. Do not use any extraordinary powers on my sister." Shi looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Oh." Compared to his emotionless rejection of the earlier inspection, the emotional fluctuation during this rejection seemed finally stronger. Xu Shuo sat back at the dining table and asked quietly, "What exactly do you want to inspect on me?" Upon hearing this, Shi instinctively followed his quiet tone and said, "The abilities each of us uses come from 'spiritual consciousness,' which is located in your thoughts; the body is merely the carrier of thoughts and a container for power." Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow, "So what?" Shi looked a bit embarrassed, "I know that inspecting your consciousness is a bit offensive, but I have already explored your body before, very ordinary." Xu Shuo: "..." When did this happen, and how come I wasn't aware? But compared to the methods of 'Judgement,' it seemed pointless to compete at his level. After some thought, Xu Shuo asked, "Can I know what you are looking at when you inspect?" Sensing that he was softening, Shi quickly nodded, "I can share the sensations with you!" Since the benefits were already secured up to this point, in the end, Xu Shuo leaned back against the chair and slanted his head towards Shi. "Come on, then." Shi was overjoyed. Since this time it wasn't by force, he closed his eyes and then reopened them, and his pupils shone with a brilliant golden color, enveloping Xu Shuo with a thread of holy light. The Sea of Consciousness of Xu Shuo, covered by Shi, was a field of gold, where bubbles of various sizes floated. But aside from those ordinary memories, there were no special objects. Not even the violin could be found. Suddenly, Shi sensed a strange force, but upon careful search, he could not trace its source, yet he had a vague feeling that something was radiating a sort of warm breath. ... In fact, before he began his detection. Several tens of meters away from the apartment. Upon seeing that the two had finally started working— The person who had been covertly observing all day felt spirited! He immediately took off his old-fashioned black-framed glasses; his pupils misted over with a reddish-gold glow, the energy instantly expanded, synchronizing with Shi's spiritual power that covered the area below, The two similar yet different forces collided intangibly, not causing even a ripple, as if two ripples on a lake's surface quietly canceled each other out upon intersecting. Thus, the Judgement detected nothing abnormal! However, just at that moment— A pair of jade-green eyes suddenly snapped open within the Sea of Consciousness of the three. Shi: "?" Los: "??" Xu Shuo: "..." Uh oh, it's the deity from the Star Guild. ...
